I have a regular fairly heavy aluminum teflon lined 10" fry pan that I removed the handle from and threw it away for easier packing. I have two MSR nesting stainless steel pots. One a one liter size and one a 2 liter size with lids....i use a pot grabber instead of handles.<br><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/user/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt=""><br>most of what I have is stainless steel....I like it, it is safe, lasts a long time and I have gathered these things over many years of camping in all different ways, from backpacking, canoing, car and moto camping, etc.<br><br>I think you just need a few of your favorite kitchen things that you use regularly and if you need different or more later, you can use the money from selling the stuff you don't need to get what you do. Think really simple though and try to take tools that you can use for a bunch of different things. You WILL take too much...everyone seems to.<br><br>I find that so much of this stuff is kind of hard to plan for until you do it for awhile and see what you need or want.<br><br>I just did an entire interior rebuild on mine to shrink the area the galley was taking up since I recently realized how little space i needed for what I actually do. You might find just the opposite..<br><br>I own a half dozen at least backpacking and camping stoves from old standards to newer fancy multifuel stoves and I find that the cheapest little square flat propane stove worked the best for me with a re-plumbing so the bottle would be a bit more manageable and remote. <br><br>It just makes sense that a thinner, lighter pot will take less energy to heat....the problem is that it can be too thin and burn things....I think aluminum is a poor choice of pans....stuff sticks too easily and we all have heard that aluminum intake is bad for ones health.<br><br>Like Bob I enjoy having the convenience of the teflon lining. Like Katie though I have been toying with the idea of taking a cast iron pan....I use cast iron a lot at home and really like it.<br><br>
